If you look at the pictures of the drives on this link, there is a plate between the upper and lower that sticks out the back horizontilally.
I haven't seen this before on these drives. I have seen the bolt on Dolphins that you see on Alpha's and such, but not on a performance boat.
I am considering the boat for the motors and drives.
Any thoughts on these plates?

they were designed to help get the boat on plane because the IV drive does not have a cave plate have used them in the past they worked well.

Thank you for the information.

Costa Mesa, I am in Temecula, I need to visit your shop.

Also could be the owner wanted it for safety reasons if anyone were to ever slip or fall off the back.
